ULB - Aero-Thermo-Mechanics:

The Aero-Thermo-Mechanics Department, a part of the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), focuses its research on a wide range of fluid mechanics applications including aircraft lubrication systems, combustion, numerical simulations, and renewable energy, among others.

More specifically, in combustion, research focuses on the following topics:

  • Numerical simulation of novel combustion technologies
  • Tabulation of Dynamic Adaptive Chemistry (TDAC)
  • Reduced-order combustion models for turbulent reacting flows
  • Simulation of internal combustion engines
  • Uncertainty quantification for kinetics mechanism
  • Numerical simulation of indoor and outdoor fire propagation

Moreover, the department is active in many Belgian and European research projects with strong national and international collaborations.
